let's listen. >> the irony is rudy giuliani, probably the most underqualified man since george bush to seek the presidency, is here talking about the people here. rudy giuliani, there's only one things he mentioned in a sentence, a noun, a verb, and 9/11. >> i remember that line, very, very well. i had a ryan staffer tell me that they were going back and looking at some of the research, that not only did biden do very well in his debates, but david plouffe, the obama strategist, wrote in his book part of the reason obama picked biden was because he was impressed with his debate performance. he's a 40-year veteran, and he's going to be a capable debater. when joe biden was debating in '87 and '88 when he ran for president the first time, paul ryan was in high school. so there's going to be, i think, a fascinating age gap there on that stage. joe biden is not somebody that's going to come out there and sort of stumble around. it's possible he could commit a gaffe, but the ryan folks that i talked to are getting ready for, you know, the chairman of the foreign relations committee, not the

this is what a george bush called voodoo economics. you can cut taxes as much as you want, as long as you are prepared to savagely cut spending. there is a lack transparency shall we say in really spelling how much are you going to cut. and to accommodate that level of cuts and balance the budget require savage cuts. >> jennifer: today just quickly, because i want to talk about your book. there's a number of -- of objective economic indicators that have come out over the past few days that would seem to bode well for the president, which hasn't necessarily translated into polls. there is a five-year high in consumer confidence, in the stock market bloomberg came out saying the shrinkingage of government spending is at a 60-year low. will those numbers percolate enough to counter act what has been perceived as a bad deb performance. >> absolutely. the economy is startto very slowly and tentatively heal. i think things are slowly getting better. but there is not a go-go economy. >> jennifer: right. the bloomberg -- there was a surprise i

george bush was not prepared. john kerry was. he tightened the race. >> speaker gingrich, i want to ask you, the president was criticized for seeming lackluster in his responses. do you think the stylistic things matter? >> i think george had it right in the sense that -- character is part of, ultimately, you don't know what crisis will emerge a year from now. the character of the person does matter. you had it right. 90 minutes with no editing, no breaks. you begin to watch these two people interact with the moderator. you get a different sense than you do from tv commercials. i thought romney was helped. because the obama campaign spent three months portraying him as a person he's not. people saw him and said, wait a second. that's not the guy i have been frightened about. just as reagan in 1980 was suddenly more reasonable than the carter caricature of him was. so these things do matter, i think. and think the challenge for president obama was -- a little bit like george h.w. bush -- i got the sense that first night that he wa

but i want to warn some of my democratic friends that, you know, this is exactly what george bush said about bill clinton in 1992, that he'll say anything to get elected. while i think it's important, i think it's also important for democrats not to get too caught up on this. they have to continue to remind voters that even on the positions that romney is consistent on, that theyre very unpopular positions. he wants to, you know, raise taxes on the middle class. it's the only way he can pay for his tax plan. there's no other way to do it. >> well, he said he's not going to do that. he said he's not going to do it. >> and i think that that's a debate democrats will win. i think the medicare position he's taken has been shown poll after poll among seniors to be unbelievably unpopular and i think democrats have to get that point across. preexisting conditions under a romney administration, regardless of what he says, will be out the window if he has his way for tens of millions of americans. >> please, honestly, julian, you can't go on and deal with all of his lies. we don't have -- >> th
